Games You Would Love to See

[Crymic]

I've had a very detailed game in my head for awhile. Fantasy based rpg.
3 nations are at war and you can pick between a Prince from each country to play. It would be a tactical rpg taking over rival areas either with force or diplomancy. If you play the game a certain way you can join allaince with one of the waring kingdoms and marry their Princess. Joining them together and having a child. At this point you can either choose to continue playing the character you had, or play your child. Which would open a whole new series of quests. Of course there's always the greater evil lurking in the background. Demonic or Choas tring to destroy or dominate the world from the shadows.

A game that I, and many of my friends, would love to see is a muliplayer version of Morrowind. Play over LAN or internet with your friends and journey around Morrowind, and other places, with them. My friends and I have so varying different playing styles that we would compliment each other very well.

I'd like something a long the lines of the Age of Empires ones (I love those "build-your-city-then-knobble-your-neighbour" games) but on a much bigger scale, as I usually finish them quite quickly. I also like games like GTA, or on a wider scale the Pokemon games, roaming where you want. And the mindless destruction that you can do in GTA! Yeah, that's it...a game based around killing and destroying as many things as possible...points for being more imaginative!

try Mercenaries. Like GTA in a warzone

Hey everybody,

What I would really like to see is some sort of online first person shooter which would be played online. I know, doesn't sound too original. The big difference would be that you would start off as a soldier for a division in a massive army, and you would have to follow order of other players whose levels are above you. Basically if you performed well you could be promoted or demoted accordingly. So technically you could end up becoming the general of a massive army. How does that sound to you guys?

Personally I think this game will be my be all, end all of the best of the best... Welcome to Ages of Athiria! This development team is unique in the way then intend to complete this project. They have embarked on various other ventures to raise the cash they need to finance this game themselves. They have tried to find an investor but every time they got close to a deal they got scared of what might become of their visong of Ages of Athiria if someone else got control, and lets face it many publishers have ruined perfectly good games by forcing them to launch early and without all the promises made during development.

I have been following this game for a few years now and at one point they were actually closer to beginning work then they are now. Now they have decided to completely concetrate on raising the cash so that they can begin.

Ages of Athiria, when it launches will change the genre and no longer will MMOG developers be able to shurn out the same crap with a new name, AoA will have arrived and everything else will have to measure up.

If you don't believe me then go read the entire FAQ and then register and take part in the forums. The Dev's have told us several times that those who stick with the project already have a spot reserved in the very fist beta and possibly even alpha testing.

Stop by and lend us your ideas!

I like the idea of an online game set in medieval Europe where you start out as a recruit in a huge choice of armies/nations. As a recruit you would fight in pitched battles across the continent. Some battles might require more tactics and discipline than others. I would love to see this done as realistic as possible. ie if you are told to stand your ground in a shield wall then you have to stand ground and fight from a shield wall. Obviously you can work your way up the ladder of promotion or opportunity.

I'd love to see a game based off of Werewolf: The Forsaken (roleplaying game). It would combine the best elements of an RPG, an action game, and a horror/survival/mystery game.

Or a supernatural mystery, in which the enemy are never obvious. A game with an eery, awe-inspiring and horrifying environment to wander through, and an ancient riddle or murder or something to solve, and a freaky background story. Interaction with strange, cryptic figures, all of whom are threatening in some way. Moral dilemmas. Something which leaves the player wondering whether it really was just a game they just played... That would be awesome, imo.

An unusual but intriguing idea for a game: “A Cat’s Tail” (not Tale, but Tail). An open ended sandbox type game (like GTA, but only in the free-roaming sense) where the main character is… You got it, a cat! There would be no silly animal voice-overs or quirky floating fish bones to boost energy. Just a narrator, the voice of Morgan Freeman perhaps, and one small, very agile, very silent gray cat. I’ve no idea what the story would be about, I just like the idea of a lost cat, roaming the streets of a large open city – maybe with a little countryside around the edge. The narrator would jump in every now and then to either prompt you or tell a little of the unfolding story. There would be people walking the streets, though from the cats perspective the player would only see them from the waist up (like that woman with the broom in Tom and Jerry). There would be rushing cars and people on bikes, cat catchers with nets, nasty children who try to tie fire-crackers to your tail. The graphics would be quite gritty and real. Then of course there would be angry dogs of various breeds that chase you, other cats that you may or may not choose to fight. There would be mice and birds to catch for sustenance, fences to scale and trees to climb. All the time the cats attributes would increase through some sort of award system - jump higher, run faster, better ballance upon fences etc. Free jumping for animals!
It would be a breath of fresh air from all the gun totting, grenade lobbing games that already exist.

Like a cross between battlefield 2 and Savage?

Actually, that sounds really, *really* cool.

I really like the sound of that cat game. It would kind of be like sim ant except sim cat? Of course with better graphics.

I would love to see a totally customizable game. For example a driving type game where you can paint the car however you want ( color and decals and everything). And where you would race to win different parts for your car to make it better. Like chaning out your tires and rims and every part of the motor. Or on an RPG side, instead of just picking out of a few faces and different body types when you start a character, chaning like the ears and nose and every facial thing possible. Same with the body and arms. I just love cusomizable games and havent found one game yet that stands up to my customizing standards.

Heh, I've actually found that wrestling games oftentimes are incredibly customizable (is that even a word ). Which is a shame, 'cause I'm not interested in wrestling games at all.

Sounds slightly like Planetside.

A game I've love to see? I'd say a game made up of the following:

- The tactical battle system of FF Tactics.
- The open-ended gameplay of SaGa Frontier.
- A large cast of playable characters with their own, unique base abilities like in FF6
- An extensive class-changing system like in FF Tactics.
- The option to create your own "main" character with lots of (mostly aesthetic) customization options, including name, gender, basic appearance, voice set, etc.
- The option to develop your characters in any way you choose, like in SaGa Frontier & FF Tactics.
- The option to create your own spells, abilities, and equipment, provided this is controlled appropriately to maintain balance.
- Randomly-generated maps, side quests, creatures, and such to keep things feeling fresh with each gameplay.

The plot had better be badass, too.

Yeah, I think a game like that would take over my soul.
